Hafeez Khan, a student of Nemichandra Jain said so while addressing an event organised by the Aastha Samaj Rachna Sewa Anusandhan Sansthan on the completion of the centenary year of Nemichandra Jain.
Nemichandra had guided generations of theatre workers. Published under editorship of Nemichandra, 'Natarang' is hailed as the holy book for the theatre workers. The contribution of Nemichandra Jain in the field of theatre can never be forgotten. Presiding over the event, litterateur Ashok Waqt said, Nemichandra’s work is multifaceted.
